Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I feel like this book was totally unedited and anachronisms abounded. First, we have a group of teens, in 1979, who all own VCRs, video cameras, computers and one even has video editing software on his computer??! While the first is justly remotely possible, the others aren't. Kinsey, in 1989, references found footage, hand held type movies which weren't around yet and molded plastic lawn chairs before they were in use. There are many more and it drove me crazy. Plus, Kinsey receives the same information several times from multiple people and doesn't seem to remember that she already knows it. Several chapters were incredibly repetitive. The plot is convoluted and the characters dull or unlikable to the point that I almost stopped reading. There is soooo much filler and random description of meaningless stuff . REALLY-- Penguin needed to clean this book up. I have loved Grafton for years, and continue to do so, as this book was an anomaly, and Kinsey's personality was still fairly vivid, but honestly -- if it had been any other author. I would have tossed it halfway through.
